Dear Poptastic Readers,This week, Kylie Minogue celebrated her 50th birthday (Happy Birthday, Kylie!) and the third single release from her #1 smash album Golden. What is the new single called? Why it is the title track "Golden" of course!

Even though most of the album is country pop. "Golden" is the least country of the three singles released. It is a bit guitar driven, but we don't think the music screams "country." Sure, there are some country elements.

Kylie filmed the video in Havana while she was there filming her second video for "Stop Me From Falling" with Gente de Zona. The video has Kylie showing off some lovely sequined dresses, one she even gets in the ocean with. There is also a fresh-faced Kylie without makeup on for some closeups. Just have a look ...

Dear Poptastic Readers,Earlier this month, Little Boots released the second single from her latest EP called Burn, and the single is called "Eros" featuring Planningtorock. We almost forgot to feature it and now she has released the third single! D'oh!

"Eros" is a cool dance pop track. It has has a catchy "la la la la la" bit, glorious strings, and a bridge that builds up to the cool chorus. The video is quite clever! Just have a look ...

Dear Poptastic Readers,Last week, Swedish siren Clara Mae released her new song and it is a duet with American singer Jake Miller. The song is called "Better Me Better You" and you are going to love it. We do.

"Better Me Better You" is song that Clara Mae wrote last year. It is a song about conflicting feelings while being in a relationship. Often the grass isn't greener on the other side. She felt like the song was a duet so she asked American singer Jake Miller to sing on it, and the result is wonderful. Check out the luscious video ...

Dear Poptastic Readers,Last weekend was the Eurovision Song Contest. If you just asked yourself, "What is that?" Well, Eurovision was started in the 1950s to help bring European countries unite over music after the war. Each year, countries submit a song to represent their countries. The winner is decided based on a mixture of scores from the judges, as well as voters. This year, there was a performance that we can't seem to get out of our heads, and it wasn't the winner. It was the United Kingdom's entry with "Storm" by SuRie.

Perhaps you read about it on the news, but about halfway through SuRie's performance, a man rushed the stage and grabbed her microphone out of her hand to protest something. After a brief scuffle with security, the man was taken off stage. SuRie saw her microphone on the floor and picked it up finishing her song with amazing power and strength. Just have a look ...

We love SuRie! Sadly, her song came in at #24 out of 26. It doesn't matter. SuRie is a wonderful singer and beautiful person, and "Storm" is a lovely uplifting song. We hope her career continues. In the meantime, "Storm" is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today. We've added "Storm" to our 2018 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify. Enjoy!~

Dear Poptastic Readers,Last spring, we fell in love with a song called "Lucy (Sun Goes Up)" by Chris Tall featuring Maydar. It became a summer anthem and we loved it so much that it came it at #7 on our year-end countdown. Now Chris Tall is back with a new jam called "Weekend."

"Weekend" features the vocals by Jerusalem. We don't know who she is, but she sure delivers this slice of electronic funk pop gem. The song will have you getting down in no time. Have a listen ...

Dear Poptastic Readers,Happy May! We took last week off after a very busy April featuring 13 new songs to share with you. One song we didn't get to squeeze in last month was the latest from RABBII. Their new song is called "Afraid Of The Dark."

"Afraid Of The Dark" is a space-age ballad that takes you on an emotional journey. RABBII sure know how to just capture a haunting feeling and present it in a pop song. Just have a listen ...
